Cougars Edge North Texas 8-6
HOUSTON, Nov. 13.—The combination of an underdog role and
a muddy gridiron proved enough for the Cougars to upset the North
Texas Eagles at Public School Stadium. The Red and White team
made their own breaks and then proceeded to take advantage of them.
The Cats' first opening came late in the first quarter when Bill
Lalicker, Eagle safety, fumbled'
Neveux's punt on the North Texas
five and fumbled again when he
was hit. Don Wilhelm recovered
for the Cougars and Max Clark
swept end on third down for the
Cougar tally. Neveux had no
chance to convert the extra point
when the center was fumbled.
The Eagles struck back early
in the third quarter when Richard Nutt took a Neveux punt and
raced 91 yards to knot the score
at 6-6. The conversion was missed
and the teams remained stalemated. The Cougars' two-point
quarter when Buck Miller, Houston guard, tackled Nutt behind
the Eagle goal after a Neveux
punt had gone out on the North
Texas seven. Final Score: Cougars
8, North Texas 6.
